In China, more than 120,000 people have been evacuated in the northeast following serious floods that have already left four dead. Heavy downpours have dangerously swollen the Yalu river, which forms the border between China and North Korea. China's civil affairs ministry said that 127,000 people had been evacuated in Liaoning province in just three days due to the rains. The official Xinhua news agency report said in Dandong city alone, which borders North Korea, more than 94,000 residents were evacuated and some power and transport links were cut off. China's national meteorological centre on Sunday warned that new downpours were expected in parts of Liaoning, including Dandong, for another 24 hours at least.In neighbouring North Korea, more than 5,000 people have been moved to safety after parts of Sinuiju city and rural communities near the border were completely inundated. The official Korean Central News Agency said traffic in downtown Sinuiju was paralysed and flood victims were stranded on rooftops and on hills. It said the North's leader Kim Jong-Il has ordered an emergency military rescue operation.
